Schneiderlin axed from Saints squad as he pushes for move

Morgan Schniederlin will be left out of the Saints squad to face Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow as uncertainty continues over his future.

Saints have made it clear that they do not wish to sell the French midfielder, but the player is behind the scenes continuing to push for a move to Tottenham.

It has led to a meeting this morning between the player, manager Ronald Koeman and chairman Ralph Krueger, where it was decided to leave Schneiderlin out of Saints’ final summer friendly.

He has been given the weekend to think over his future before further talks are held on Monday.

Koeman said: “We spoke to Morgan this morning and the situation is difficult because the player makes it difficult.

“I spoke to Morgan with our chairman and the situation has not changed. We don’t sell Schneiderlin and he has to accept that.

“He is tomorrow not in the squad because he said he is not in a physical but even more not in a mental way prepared for tomorrow.

“On one side I can understand that and we said we will give you the weekend off to think about this situation and Monday morning we have a training session and one week to prepare for the first away match against Liverpool. You continue as a football player of Southampton, and now it’s up to him.”

Koeman as addressing the media ahead of tomorrow's final pre-season match, against Bayer Leverkusen at St Mary's, and was asked if he thought Schneiderlin would stay at Saints.

"I don’t know," he admitted. "Of course I like that he will stay because he’s a very good player and a key player in the team. We like to keep them.

"We lost some players and the club did a great job to bring in new ones but now we have to prepare for next week and in that situation we have to do that."

Just sell the greedy tw@t! For £25m Make him put in a transfer request, we have a load of player's in his position, give his job to jwp.

No.....certainly not. Time to stop this and stand firm. We'll now see how strong the board are. Let him rot and nog release him. We started this when Lalla forced his move. So blo*dy obvious to all of us with a pea for a brain that this was gonna hapen. Shame Les and Co. couldnt see this happening.

Say we let him go...what next....Clyne? J Rod? This has to stop. End of

Although you miight be disappointed by scheiderlin behaviour your comments are offensive and not akin to saints fans. You will be reported if you continue with this vile type of comment

im not disappointed by Morgan, not at all, i dont expect any thing different from a sport which is controlled by money.

Comments are offensive? just like 90 % of posts that i have had the pleasure of reading the past 3 - 4 years ( since i joined the site ) .

My comment is for a troll that is not a Saints fan, probs from down the road from that horrid place called Portsmouth.

As for your so called threat of REPORTING ME please don't, i might get upset make a new log in and continue to use the site.. hahahahahha please do threaten me on the big world wide web it makes you look really big and makes you look like a hard man who could easy knock out mike Tyson...... please except my apologize, i wouldn't want you to come knock on my door and bite my ear off, or in a angry fit throw your keyboard at the wall. i will await your reply while i cower in fear of what your keyboard may say next...........

Interesting reply which I and other contributors to this site will now understand your make-up. I'm sure you can criticise others on this site you disagree with without asking them to committ suicide!. Contribute by almeans, but make it constructive and not abusive. By the way if you change your login details you will still be easy identified by your extreme comments.

Read it again, and then tell me where i " ASKED " him / her to commit suicide lol, i told them too, their is a difference a big HUGE hint is the fact i put no ?????? which would suggest a question would it not?

to be honest i find it strange how your the one arguing about what i said when the person i said it to has placed no comment in return, are you the person in question? i think so, different log ins haha, i did find it odd how in 3 - 4 years I've never seen you post before... so i guess your just one more fishy person.

Just for the record, i wouldn't change my log in, you really think Daily Echo gives a monkeys if you press report hahaha its just for show that button, click it go on, just for a laugh. also i dont criticize people i either agree or dont comment or correct people who have no clue or idiots that claim they have " PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE " but yet post no link to an image website that host image's for free and takes less that 10 secs to do just to show people they are telling the truth and not some random fishy person from down the road, just like....... YOU!!. ( some image hosting websites - postimage.org - imageshack.com - tinypic.com photobucket.com ) .

Calm down, you know the rules, "Do not post anything that is false, abusive or malicious". If you want to make silly remarks, try Facebook or Twitter, this is is a self moderated site, which basically keeps within the bounds of common sense, most of us would want it to stay that way.

i have said nothing abusive or malicious, if the person does what i said then that's down to his / her stupidity on the same note what he / she said was FALSE yet you say nothing to him / her? different rules different people???? must be.......... this site if full of silly remarks and if i remember rightly OSPREY you also do post silly abusive remarks too some times or are you excluded from these so called self moderating rules?

Where did you get this?

its been running along the `yellow` bar on sky sports news for a while.

so if we sign forster will he become our No. 1 keeper?
can the club spend £10mill on a keeper to be back up to AB?
is spending £10mill on a keeper a sign of intent from the board?

Surely it's then up to him and Boruc to fight it out? Wasn't that the beauty of Wanyama/Cork and Clyne/Chambers last season? One area that we didn't have any competition in was keeper. My understanding of football has always been that when your place is under pressure you either up your game or lose your place.

The key point with all these actual and potential player sales is why didn't the board create a culture of ambition.

Made a coupe of decent signings and created an atmosphere with a clear forward vision that all our key players brought into and wanted to stay and fight for.

What evidence do you have for that? You've been criticising the Board for letting players go. Now they've put their foot down you're still grizzling. Fonte just signed a new contract, players have been brought in having turned down other Premier League clubs and more are on the way. Just like certain players you're letting your own prejudices stop you seeing the realities of the situation.

All the board does is prolong the agony for us fans, there is no one there who was capable of convincing any of our departed players to stay at SMS.

The board never tried to keep any of the 5 players, they just held out for the highest offer and the same will happen again and again.
Never has team that has not been relegated been dismantled like this before.
A lot of fans then turn on the players, who are only doing what any of us would do in the circumstances, whilst Ralph and co. remain unblemished and praised for getting top dollar.

From a business point of view, the company would be seen as excellent, probably going to post full year profits of around £140m , unheard of in football..... the shareholder will be ecstatic !!!

Fonte just signed a new contract, players have been brought in having turned down other Premier League clubs and more are on the way. Just like certain players you're letting your own prejudices stop you seeing the realities of the situation.

All the board does is prolong the agony for us fans, there is no one there who was capable of convincing any of our departed players to stay at SMS.

The board never tried to keep any of the 5 players, they just held out for the highest offer and the same will happen again and again.
Never has team that has not been relegated been dismantled like this before.
A lot of fans then turn on the players, who are only doing what any of us would do in the circumstances, whilst Ralph and co. remain unblemished and praised for getting top dollar.

From a business point of view, the company would be seen as excellent, probably going to post full year profits of around £140m , unheard of in football..... the shareholder will be ecstatic !!!

Morgan..... why Spurs... it makes no sense, they are a couple of positions in the league higher than us.... 2 top 4 finishes in 40 years! I think we have had more than that......

I would understand a Champions League Team, but Spurs?

Sorry, but it just makes no sense.

Couldn't agree more , if he had ambition he'd give spurs a wide berth and go to to one of the top four clubs , besides pottechino will be out of the revolving managerial door before the seasons out.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

Fascia - I think the board are getting blamed because on the surface pre Krueger and Liebherrs regime everything seemed great. A united team all working towards a common goal. Then we have witnessed a summer which whilst not as bad as the administration period has been the worst the club has seen with sale after sale and not much speed or focus on strengthening the squad. Even Krueger agrees it was light before the summer so they sell 5 players and release about 7-8 more. So I think the perception is something must have gone wrong that this new board has caused. Now I have no idea whether the board have caused this or not. All that is certain to me is that we are not building a squad that fills me with confidence that there is enough depth to survive a 38 game season. Now I accept you are one of this boards most fervent supporters and based on your posts I feel you believe they are doing nothing wrong so you will disagree with me. I just hope you will agree i've tried to be balanced and left personal insults off my thoughts.

Once again the pistol is held to the head of SFC. Some players need to learn what loyalty means, even if it hurts them in their pockets. They would not expect to be sold to a club of our choosing on a wage they find unacceptable, but are happy that the club can sell them to one of their choosing.

I think he should be docked wages for not being available and be put up for sale at £35m to any club other than Spurs.

I'm probably not the first with this idea but I think international players for top international teams (England...hahaha!, but probably not Kenya) have been told by their international managers (Hodson, Deschamps) have told players that if they aren't playing for a 'top' team, in Europe (preferably Champion's League) then they cannot expect to play for their country. That, more than anything, is causing these players to want to move to teams playing in Europe. Morgan has given us some wonderful year's of service, and much that I don't want him to leave and think he's a great player, if this is true I can see his side.

Morgan achieved his international call up off the back of his performances for SAINTS, by playing regularly and consistently so why would Deschamps tell him he had to move to get picked?? Samir Nasri plays for the Prem champs and didnt make the World Cup squad!!

Nasri's exclusion from the French squad was because he was considered to be a disruptive influence. It had nothing to do with which team he did or didn't play for.

Morgan was constantly overlooked before getting a very late call up into the larger, pre-selection squad. He made it to Brasil ONLY because of two key injuries and played the third qualifier ONLY because France were more or less through to the last 16.

His call up was the one thing that might have helped make him want to stay, but it's pretty clear that it also enabled Dechamps to mutter those immortal words, 'You need European football if you want to stay with us, mon ami.'

Alas, the French FA are much like the English FA and the national team manager is under their control. That's why Laurent Blanc got out - too much interference from Paris. The two FAs can't see that 38 matches against Premier League teams packed with top-class players is a better development vehicle than playing against Stonka Dropov on a cold, wet Thursday in November.

So, by wanting a move to a club involved in Europe, Morgan is trying to show Dechamps that he has the ambition to get a regular call up; and I have no problem with that. What annoys me is his crass attitude since learning that the club wouldn't be selling him.

I would understand a Champions League Team, but Spurs?

Sorry, but it just makes no sense.

Let's give him a bit of breathing space. Nobody is happy about this situation and Morg needs to realise that the club are determined to keep him. He may come to his senses and perhaps Jose can persuade him to fully commit again. It is a challenge for RonKo and he cannot afford to let Morg disrupt the dressing room. A firm but kind hand is needed and then a little time. If he does play again for Saints we all need to forgive him and support him. We can make a difference to the healing process.

Do Spurs have a suitable young DM in their squad that wants to play throughout the season in the PL? and can be a make weight in a deal.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

Fonte just signed a new contract, players have been brought in having turned down other Premier League clubs and more are on the way.

Spurs see we mean business and either pay up the full whack or they don't.

Morgan can thus go to Spurs with his ego polished or he can play in the Saints reserves for the season

I am more than a little disappointed by the people now crowing about there cleverness about the rubbish Board not being able to retain him.

IT IS seriously bad news that he wants to go but we all know that Saints can't stop him and yes it does make the Board look stupid but that's down to the nature of modern football.

If we had that power then so would every other Club and Football just doesn't work like that.

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Fascia - I think the board are getting blamed because on the surface pre Krueger and Liebherrs regime everything seemed great. A united team all working towards a common goal. Then we have witnessed a summer which whilst not as bad as the administration period has been the worst the club has seen with sale after sale and not much speed or focus on strengthening the squad. Even Krueger agrees it was light before the summer so they sell 5 players and release about 7-8 more. So I think the perception is something must have gone wrong that this new board has caused. Now I have no idea whether the board have caused this or not. All that is certain to me is that we are not building a squad that fills me with confidence that there is enough depth to survive a 38 game season. Now I accept you are one of this boards most fervent supporters and based on your posts I feel you believe they are doing nothing wrong so you will disagree with me. I just hope you will agree i've tried to be balanced and left personal insults off my thoughts.

I'm not one for throwing insults about and hope you would agree, again I know their is a major element of assumption in my theory, but I think in time it will come out the previous regime are far more responsible for the summer of discontent we are all witnessing , and in any event if they weren't let's get behind them and give them the benefit of the doubt and support, the club needs at this current moment in time.

I'm probably not the first with this idea but I think international players for top international teams (England...hahaha!, but probably not Kenya) have been told by their international managers (Hodson, Deschamps) have told players that if they aren't playing for a 'top' team, in Europe (preferably Champion's League) then they cannot expect to play for their country. That, more than anything, is causing these players to want to move to teams playing in Europe. Morgan has given us some wonderful year's of service, and much that I don't want him to leave and think he's a great player, if this is true I can see his side.

Interesting situation here. In his interview with Times Sport last week Krueger confirmed that Ron had been "involved in, and agreed with" the sale of players on the basis that "it would have been an insane risk to keep too many players who wanted to leave". So why not let Morgan go? Ask the highest possible price from anyone but Spurs where Judas is working his usual influence. Invest this money on a real quality defender or striker and onward and upward we go.

Personally I feel for Morgan, as regardless to what the board say about the sell of the other players, I still find the board/Les made it oh so easy for them to go, and in double quick time too! Far too quick, and even though the board point to the size of the UNDISCLOSED sum and the fact they dd not mess around, in fact only created a rod for the boards back by doing so for future player demands/wishes like Chambers, and for other clubs to create a pressure situation to force the player move via media pressure.

So Morgan comes back from the World cup and finds all his mates who went to the World cup get their money grabbing moves, and yet Morgan who has already been very faithful to us is told no. He was most probably lied to about manager or players not going, but did. Its just a human instinct in the main, to be annoyed now, and only made one public comment really.

With the above in mind and the fact that the board is trying to bolt the stable shut after the horse is bolted, is an embarrassment! And I really feel for Koeman who has to deal with press conferences like today and the only thing the press are after is the juicy story about Morgan to sell papers. So it will be interesting, but for the board self respect and creditability they have to stand firm in the face of this self inflicted mess. If they show they have grown some recently (and hopefully learnt something) Then with time hopefully Morgan will get over this and find it actually worked out for the best!

Bottom line is if you wish to progress then you have to keep your best players! Morgan is by far our best, and we must keep him!! Sauez last season wanted out, and Liverpool made him stay, and what a season Jaws had! This season they will suffer now they sold a 32+ goal striker!

Personally I feel for Morgan, as regardless to what the board say about the sell of the other players, I still find the board/Les made it oh so easy for them to go, and in double quick time too! Far too quick, and even though the board point to the size of the UNDISCLOSED sum and the fact they dd not mess around, in fact only created a rod for the boards back by doing so for future player demands/wishes like Chambers, and for other clubs to create a pressure situation to force the player move via media pressure.
So Morgan comes back from the World cup and finds all his mates who went to the World cup get their money grabbing moves, and yet Morgan who has already been very faithful to us is told no. He was most probably lied to about manager or players not going, but did. Its just a human instinct in the main, to be annoyed now, and only made one public comment really.
With the above in mind and the fact that the board is trying to bolt the stable shut after the horse is bolted, is an embarrassment! And I really feel for Koeman who has to deal with press conferences like today and the only thing the press are after is the juicy story about Morgan to sell papers. So it will be interesting, but for the board self respect and creditability they have to stand firm in the face of this self inflicted mess.

I'm probably not the first with this idea but I think international players for top international teams (England...hahaha!, but probably not Kenya) have been told by their international managers (Hodson, Deschamps) have told players that if they aren't playing for a 'top' team, in Europe (preferably Champion's League) then they cannot expect to play for their country. That, more than anything, is causing these players to want to move to teams playing in Europe. Morgan has given us some wonderful year's of service, and much that I don't want him to leave and think he's a great player, if this is true I can see his side.

How many saints players in world cup ? Spider was at bottom of pecking order, going to spurs wouldn't change the order IMO.

How to become the most unpopular player in the squad.

Now we'll see if Ralph stands up or caves ....

Being realistic here. if he decides he is out of the club, then he won't be performing, and will be half the payer he was last season.

Do Spurs have a suitable young DM in their squad that wants to play throughout the season in the PL? and can be a make weight in a deal.

Alternatively; tell him he can leave in January if he plays out of his skin for us up till then, then we get half a season to find a replacement.

We will pay over the odds in January though

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

Agreed. We are in a real mess. How can people say its nothing to do with the board. The board is there to manage the club no one else. Oops mustn't say anything negative!

But you did anyway.

Is everbody really falling for this "he's not for sale " cr@p???

Reading through peoples comments on here and most peoples view now seems to be that we should sell Morgan and take the money rather than to allow him to become a disruptive influence. Has nobody thought that that the board anticipated this? And are therefore letting us believe they don't want to sell him, until we start screaming for him to be sold and then the inevitable happens anyway? Only this way RK and LR don't get any or as much stick??? And probably squeezing spurs for a few more mil!??? Just a thought, but I don't trust these guys as far as I could spit in a storm. I

'm surprised RK is putting up with this and I don't think this is what he signed up for. Really hope I'm wrong but the chambers sale was the last straw for me. Anyone who thinks you can throw a team together in a matter of weeks is crazy. Look at Sunderland last year.

If we cave in now Jayrod will probably stir things as well even though we gave him his chance and saw him through his injury.. Ungrateful bar stewards. We still have loads of money for incoming transfers and therefore we wont taking a huge financial risk. The club should also be keeping a very close watch on Levy and the Spuds working illegally behind the scenes trying to unsettle our players. Its very high time we taught the Spuds and Thievingskiverpool a lesson.

What evidence do you have for that? You've been criticising the Board for letting players go. Now they've put their foot down you're still grizzling. Fonte just signed a new contract, players have been brought in having turned down other Premier League clubs and more are on the way. Just like certain players you're letting your own prejudices stop you seeing the realities of the situation.

All the board does is prolong the agony for us fans, there is no one there who was capable of convincing any of our departed players to stay at SMS.

The board never tried to keep any of the 5 players, they just held out for the highest offer and the same will happen again and again.
Never has team that has not been relegated been dismantled like this before.
A lot of fans then turn on the players, who are only doing what any of us would do in the circumstances, whilst Ralph and co. remain unblemished and praised for getting top dollar.

From a business point of view, the company would be seen as excellent, probably going to post full year profits of around £140m , unheard of in football..... the shareholder will be ecstatic !!!

Sorry Gaz I don't agree with you on this. As I said in my previous post the Board had little option other than to let these players go. If it had not been for the World Cup none of this would probably have happened. So many influences were on the players who all got a bit above themselves and as Kreuger said "whats the use of a bunch of unhappy uncommitted players". None of the players sold were worth the money and the duty of the Board now is to use the money to bring in better players. Personally I think the squad is just as good already as last year- it is gelling them together now as a team. We could not have a better manager on Board.

If Levy had not tried to chince us with a paltry £10 million offer, Morgan probably would have been off by now, and we would have moved on.

The clearly don't have the money after blowing all the Bale money last year, or they are just tight. Morgan should not be able to force Saints into a carp detail by misbehaving.

I think Levy is too late. We should stick to our guns now, even if it means Morgan training with the kids. It is too important a precedent that will be set wither way.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

What evidence do you have for that? You've been criticising the Board for letting players go. Now they've put their foot down you're still grizzling. Fonte just signed a new contract, players have been brought in having turned down other Premier League clubs and more are on the way. Just like certain players you're letting your own prejudices stop you seeing the realities of the situation.

All the board does is prolong the agony for us fans, there is no one there who was capable of convincing any of our departed players to stay at SMS.

The board never tried to keep any of the 5 players, they just held out for the highest offer and the same will happen again and again.
Never has team that has not been relegated been dismantled like this before.
A lot of fans then turn on the players, who are only doing what any of us would do in the circumstances, whilst Ralph and co. remain unblemished and praised for getting top dollar.

From a business point of view, the company would be seen as excellent, probably going to post full year profits of around £140m , unheard of in football..... the shareholder will be ecstatic !!!

Sorry but you're contradicting yourself. If players are only doing what every one else would do how was the Board going to stop them? You can't have it both ways. Be honest - Lambert never expected to leave until the club of his heart and soul came in for him. By his own admission Lallana had already decided to go, Lovren is just another self centred foreign player with mercenary tendencies (ditto Pochettino) and Chambers wasn't going to oust Clyne given Koeman's style and his price tag was more than generous. Once you add the agents to the mix you're mostly on a hiding to nothing. And anyway, what's wrong with running the club like a sound, sensible business? In the nonsensical world of the Premier League any other way spells disaster as the rules always favour the top 6.

Two things to come out of this if we stand firm and let him rot.

1) It sends a clear signal to others at SFC that they cannot force a move.

2) It sends a signal to others wishing to use SFC as a stepping stone that if they come to get recognised they cannot walk as suits them. Yes, this might deter good players from coming....BUT....tho
se that do sign know that they have to honour a contract.

Personally i feel for Morgan as he messed up and left it late...unfortunately he has watched his mates walk and get more money.

Lets not forget we SFC did not help with any of this however Freddie has said no more so providing MS doesnt leave the jury remains out for me wrt the Board.

I know we are all upset that the 5 have gone but you cant just blame the board, life isn't that simple!
at least 2 of the leavers had get out clauses, maybe more, and theres nothing the board can do about that apart from get the best possible deal for the club.
perhaps the board are standing firm now because neither spider or J-Rod have get out clauses.

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

They still can't drive though!!!

You said that not me!

You're both right. Women are far more consummate business people with a more rounded approach than their male counterparts - and they can't drive!

However, the women I'm referring to are the ones who have battled their way to the top - be it in the professions, banking industry or in business at large. They should not be confused with someone who has been handed it all on a plate and has yet to prove her own worth in either the Mali group or SFC.

You don't know that's the case, she may well be a very capable lady and I am sure she will be, in my experience sensible business owners are usually harder on their children than they are on other staff, it's the green eyed neggies that usually criticise whatever the owners child does and however capable they prove to be.

You are absolutely right however here we have a football club that is regarded as being in turmoil by the football industry world wide and there have been a number of liquidations in the Mali Group.

If she has a vision for this club then its time she sold it to us - herself. If that vision is not CL but involves developing, and sometimes selling, talent to sustain the Premier League ambitions so be it. I never said the only vision was top Four - but I'm waiting to hear what the owner plans to do and from the owner herself.

the only company that was folded, as far as I`m aware, was the printing firm that St Markus brought in an attempt to save it. that firm was never a part of the mali group of companies and it was the mali group that decided to fold the firm.
KL has held some high ranking roles within certain companies of the group in the past, and after taking over ownership she and NC both resigned from the boards of the separate companies, although she remains the owner. from what I have read the only board she is still on is the Southampton fc holding company, why would she stick with our board if she didnt care? St Markus and KL were/are both intensely private people so I wouldn't go expecting her to speak of her plans for the club herself, she has set out the `ambition` of the club through ralph, and that is still t aim for European football. dont expect a timescale though because if they say 5yrs and don't do it forums like these will be full of fans moaning that they are inept and cant deliver on their promises! getting to the prem in 5yrs was relatively easy, well a lot easier than getting from the bottom of the prem into the top6/4.

wasn't St Markus handed his `fortune` on a plate as well, well until years later when he handed his shares in his late fathers companies back to his brothers and sisters to set out on his own. he didn't prove anything for years so why does KL instantly have to prove herself? why do people think that st markus wouldn't have passed on his knowledge and business acumen to his sole heir? why are people so disrespectful to KL? we have no real idea what knowledge and skills she does or doesn't posses, but shes instantly branded as useless just because she was handed the club by her late father.

wasn't St Markus handed his `fortune` on a plate as well, well until years later when he handed his shares in his late fathers companies back to his brothers and sisters to set out on his own. he didn't prove anything for years so why does KL instantly have to prove herself? why do people think that st markus wouldn't have passed on his knowledge and business acumen to his sole heir? why are people so disrespectful to KL? we have no real idea what knowledge and skills she does or doesn't posses, but shes instantly branded as useless just because she was handed the club by her late father.

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

Agreed. We are in a real mess. How can people say its nothing to do with the board. The board is there to manage the club no one else. Oops mustn't say anything negative!

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

This has got nothing to do about women for goodness sake. Besides that without the Liebear family we wouldn't be a club. It's the inept Reed and Kruger that are just not up to it. The players have been calling the shots not the management team. Even when they have said no no one believes them anymore.

think we need to stand firm for now - we can't let every player think they can do what they want to get away.
my worry is that j-rod will be doing the same for the January window!!
sure that lots of tapping up goes on at these international games - never had all these problems before then.
stand firm - put a £40k price tag on his head -all up front in cash - lets see who is interested then.
mopo has a lot to answer for - i hope he falls flat on his face by december - and is out the door in january .

I love this forum and all the opinions on how badly the board are handling things. Are there any board members on here? Does someone have some magical insight into what's going on behind the scenes? Or is it just the same old ill informed minority who will bee singing the clubs praises one day and beating them up the next. Try talking about what you know, not what you're guessing

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

Thank you for that comment, it has really added to the debate.... gives me something to ponder.

Well come on! Given the manager we've brought in (despite him having been told the attitude and desires of some players) and the players he's brought in plus the health of the club how on earth can you say the club's in meltdown? Meltdown is where we were five years ago - do you really think the current situation is comparable? Most of us could only dream about us being the club we are now back in 2009. We have a lot to thank the Liebherrs for - irrespective of which gender!

Strange how the names who said if any more players left after Ralph's last statement that he'd lose all credibility are now the same ones screaming for Schneiderlin to be allowed to go. And of course if you get your wish you can then accuse Ralph of breaking his word.

How convenient.

they are also the same ones who told us for months at the end of the season that you just cant keep the players if they want to leave, and then constantly moan at the board for not keeping the players!

Agreed. We are in a real mess. How can people say its nothing to do with the board. The board is there to manage the club no one else. Oops mustn't say anything negative!

But you did anyway.

Yep just like you always want to have the last say. Must be great to be so knowledgable ever thought about taking up football management as you obviously have plenty of spare time on your hands!

I'm probably not the first with this idea but I think international players for top international teams (England...hahaha!, but probably not Kenya) have been told by their international managers (Hodson, Deschamps) have told players that if they aren't playing for a 'top' team, in Europe (preferably Champion's League) then they cannot expect to play for their country. That, more than anything, is causing these players to want to move to teams playing in Europe. Morgan has given us some wonderful year's of service, and much that I don't want him to leave and think he's a great player, if this is true I can see his side.

Morgan achieved his international call up off the back of his performances for SAINTS, by playing regularly and consistently so why would Deschamps tell him he had to move to get picked?? Samir Nasri plays for the Prem champs and didnt make the World Cup squad!!

We should have said this to Chambers as well because the line should have been drawn with Lovren.

Can't see Morgan playing until after the transfer window closes, either for us or looking more like Spurs, although I hope it is any one but Spurs.

Les go and sign Jordy Classie urgently as he is a natural replacement for Morgan.

How much help is Les Reed getting ? It seems he spends too much time keeping players and chasing lost causes like Rojo, Forster etc.

We need FIVE top players in and only THREE weeks left until the window shuts !!

Take us as emotive personal stakeholders in the club out of the picture, Negs or board luvvies and ask outsiders their honest opinion, well no one and i mean no one gets it, from Linekar to the average real and plastic fan not a single person gets it.

My cousin lives in Irvine CA and asks why are we selling ALL our players, why have we not bought cover early doors, bear in mind he is a professional gambler and understands odds as good as the R De Niro in Casino…

..seriously from ex pro's to know nothings I cannot find anyone except our own board believers who thinks we are remotely trying to stand still let alone push on..

It was taking note of outsiders opinions tha has concerned me.t

No matter how much is said on this site. Will it change the outcome, or will the board or Morgan listen absolutely not. We have people on this site with all different views that's what makes it good as it's part of our democratic society. If it was all one sided it would be a pretty boring read. The majority are real supporters of our club who are genuinely worried about where the club is heading. It's just their opinion and that's fine.
Tomorrow will be interesting to see how the team performs in particular the defence.

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

They still can't drive though!!!

You said that not me!

You're both right. Women are far more consummate business people with a more rounded approach than their male counterparts - and they can't drive!

However, the women I'm referring to are the ones who have battled their way to the top - be it in the professions, banking industry or in business at large. They should not be confused with someone who has been handed it all on a plate and has yet to prove her own worth in either the Mali group or SFC.

You don't know that's the case, she may well be a very capable lady and I am sure she will be, in my experience sensible business owners are usually harder on their children than they are on other staff, it's the green eyed neggies that usually criticise whatever the owners child does and however capable they prove to be.

You are absolutely right however here we have a football club that is regarded as being in turmoil by the football industry world wide and there have been a number of liquidations in the Mali Group.

If she has a vision for this club then its time she sold it to us - herself. If that vision is not CL but involves developing, and sometimes selling, talent to sustain the Premier League ambitions so be it. I never said the only vision was top Four - but I'm waiting to hear what the owner plans to do and from the owner herself.

The message that this whole Morgan affair will send to any players we WANT to sign is that the existing quality players don't want to stick around.

On the one hand I don't see how the club can keep him, on the other hand Ralph gave pretty cast iron assurances that Jay and Morgan wouldn't be going anywhere this season.

He's painted himself into a corner somewhat. Whatever bridge building he did with the fans by way of his interviews, could be undone if the club allow Morgan to leave, fuelling the existing distrust of this regime following Les Read's empty promises in May. I'm afraid it's all become a bit shambolic.

Note to Les & Ralph, never make promises you CAN'T keep!!!

The key point with all these actual and potential player sales is why didn't the board create a culture of ambition.

Made a coupe of decent signings and created an atmosphere with a clear forward vision that all our key players brought into and wanted to stay and fight for.

WHAM!

That is the job of any board in any business. The leader(s) of the business need to do just that, LEAD. They create the 'feel good factor' the buzz about the place that others buy into and follow them because they believe in them. Go into any business and you will see the filter down effects of the leaders of that business, are there a bunch of highly motivated highly trained energetic people who understand the vision and their role in delivering that vision? Or are there a bunch of bored, demotivated, tired individuals who are only there for the money but would sooner be elsewhere?

Cortese had a vision and the players and fans bought into it. No one has sold me a new vision, no one has motivated me this summer and made me excited about the new season. In fact in many ways this administration has done the exact opposite - ruined the World Cup for me and made me apprehensive about the new season. They have demoralised my lad who has chosen a cricket match in preference to the first home game.

Despite all this some keep on clapping and clapping and defending this inept and dysfunctional board. For all the rights and wrongs of it all this board is now damaged below the water and needs to go.

Perhaps they have all been very professional and diplomatic about the mess they inherited from that man that sold us visions, may be he should be the recipient of your angst, it may be his vision selling that has made you so disillusioned with your club??

Again you could say this is supposition then I would say what is your version you are supposing we are going to have a shi@ season.

A friend of mine was told he could have the house of his dreams. He got the house but couldnt afford it. he lost the house and pretty much everythin else. Southampton fc is what it is get real stop squinnying and enjoy supporting the team

The key point with all these actual and potential player sales is why didn't the board create a culture of ambition.

Made a coupe of decent signings and created an atmosphere with a clear forward vision that all our key players brought into and wanted to stay and fight for.

WHAM!

That is the job of any board in any business. The leader(s) of the business need to do just that, LEAD. They create the 'feel good factor' the buzz about the place that others buy into and follow them because they believe in them. Go into any business and you will see the filter down effects of the leaders of that business, are there a bunch of highly motivated highly trained energetic people who understand the vision and their role in delivering that vision? Or are there a bunch of bored, demotivated, tired individuals who are only there for the money but would sooner be elsewhere?

Cortese had a vision and the players and fans bought into it. No one has sold me a new vision, no one has motivated me this summer and made me excited about the new season. In fact in many ways this administration has done the exact opposite - ruined the World Cup for me and made me apprehensive about the new season. They have demoralised my lad who has chosen a cricket match in preference to the first home game.

Hold him to his contract but he doesn't play until he publicly apologises to the fans, the board, and his team-mates.
That could be a while but its up to him - oh yea and dock his wages every time he doesn't play.

It's about time modern players were made to realise contracts are there to be honoured on BOTH sides.
(Didn't Mark Wright get into a similar sort of scrape with the club once upon a time.......?)

Strange how the names who said if any more players left after Ralph's last statement that he'd lose all credibility are now the same ones screaming for Schneiderlin to be allowed to go. And of course if you get your wish you can then accuse Ralph of breaking his word.

How convenient.

The saddest part of this whole Morgan debacle is that following Ralph's TalkSport tête-à-tête some fans started doing cartwheels in celebration that Morgan & Jay WOULDN'T be sold. If memory serves me right it was the same individuals who were so adamant that we'd keep Poch and Adam and co.

ll he does is kick a bloody football. Make him turn up for every training session and every match in a shirt and tie. Give him a note book and a pen. Get him taking notes. DONT let him train at all or play until he grows a pair and accepts he is a saints player ..... He still gets paid but does nothing other than watch professional football players train and play.

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

They still can't drive though!!!

You said that not me!

You're both right. Women are far more consummate business people with a more rounded approach than their male counterparts - and they can't drive!

However, the women I'm referring to are the ones who have battled their way to the top - be it in the professions, banking industry or in business at large. They should not be confused with someone who has been handed it all on a plate and has yet to prove her own worth in either the Mali group or SFC.

You don't know that's the case, she may well be a very capable lady and I am sure she will be, in my experience sensible business owners are usually harder on their children than they are on other staff, it's the green eyed neggies that usually criticise whatever the owners child does and however capable they prove to be.

You are absolutely right however here we have a football club that is regarded as being in turmoil by the football industry world wide and there have been a number of liquidations in the Mali Group.

If she has a vision for this club then its time she sold it to us - herself. If that vision is not CL but involves developing, and sometimes selling, talent to sustain the Premier League ambitions so be it. I never said the only vision was top Four - but I'm waiting to hear what the owner plans to do and from the owner herself.

Is it usual for the owner to come out and speak with masses or would that normally come from the chairman?

Or are you saying that in the circumstances of loosing the manager and key players, rumours of the club being for sale, she should put everyone minds at rest?

Most of the above has been covered by the manager and the chairman in interviews, do you not think whatever she comes out and says she will be receive the same level of distrust and disbelief she does on this forum?

Most owners are the chairmen of their clubs.

Managers and directors come and go - as we have seen many times. Under the Liebherr ownership alone we are on our fourth manager and second chairman in five years. If she is here for the long term then she is the one constant other than the fans.

I can't speak for others on this forum but for myself I would place great credence on her words.

Yep, he's off ! Had enough of false promises. Have you spent the 100 million yet on top new players to replace the old sh!t ones ?

The impossible we do at once, miracles take a little longer. Shouldn't listen to those neggies, we probably had around £50 million available for instant use, never a hundred million.

Morgan of all people?

The irony of it is we can fill is position fairly easily. Whether his replacement will be of the same standard remains to be seen.

The problem we will face is no matter how much we get for Spyderman is finding one or two quality CB's when half the teams in Europe are looking for the same.

Hope Morgan can be dissuaded from his present path but it seems his head has been taken elsewhere too. He was, IMHO the most effective player of all those jumping ship and the most level headed - not so it seems.

Hope MS stays we have lost more than enough of our best players this summer. I am also sceptical that spurs will want to pay up for MS or JR given that they have had no big sales this summer and they went mad with the bale money last year.

its been running along the `yellow` bar on sky sports news for a while.

so if we sign forster will he become our No. 1 keeper?
can the club spend £10mill on a keeper to be back up to AB?
is spending £10mill on a keeper a sign of intent from the board?

Strange how the names who said if any more players left after Ralph's last statement that he'd lose all credibility are now the same ones screaming for Schneiderlin to be allowed to go. And of course if you get your wish you can then accuse Ralph of breaking his word.

How convenient.

The saddest part of this whole Morgan debacle is that following Ralph's TalkSport tête-à-tête some fans started doing cartwheels in celebration that Morgan & Jay WOULDN'T be sold. If memory serves me right it was the same individuals who were so adamant that we'd keep Poch and Adam and co.

Oh dear.....Oh dear oh dear, they've been burnt twice!!!

Interesting spin, but why did you really post it? We are a bit flushed in midfield at the moment, so may be he won't be missed? I would rather he stayed of course for his work rate alone, but if his heart is elsewhere, what is the point in keeping him where could unsettle others? If he had good sense he would stay and knuckle down, there isn't much room for him elsewhere and would he really fit in at Spurs? I have my doubts and if he has to go he would be better off going abroad.

Although you miight be disappointed by scheiderlin behaviour your comments are offensive and not akin to saints fans. You will be reported if you continue with this vile type of comment

im not disappointed by Morgan, not at all, i dont expect any thing different from a sport which is controlled by money.

Comments are offensive? just like 90 % of posts that i have had the pleasure of reading the past 3 - 4 years ( since i joined the site ) .

My comment is for a troll that is not a Saints fan, probs from down the road from that horrid place called Portsmouth.

As for your so called threat of REPORTING ME please don't, i might get upset make a new log in and continue to use the site.. hahahahahha please do threaten me on the big world wide web it makes you look really big and makes you look like a hard man who could easy knock out mike Tyson...... please except my apologize, i wouldn't want you to come knock on my door and bite my ear off, or in a angry fit throw your keyboard at the wall. i will await your reply while i cower in fear of what your keyboard may say next...........

Interesting reply which I and other contributors to this site will now understand your make-up. I'm sure you can criticise others on this site you disagree with without asking them to committ suicide!. Contribute by almeans, but make it constructive and not abusive. By the way if you change your login details you will still be easy identified by your extreme comments.

Read it again, and then tell me where i " ASKED " him / her to commit suicide lol, i told them too, their is a difference a big HUGE hint is the fact i put no ?????? which would suggest a question would it not?

to be honest i find it strange how your the one arguing about what i said when the person i said it to has placed no comment in return, are you the person in question? i think so, different log ins haha, i did find it odd how in 3 - 4 years I've never seen you post before... so i guess your just one more fishy person.

Just for the record, i wouldn't change my log in, you really think Daily Echo gives a monkeys if you press report hahaha its just for show that button, click it go on, just for a laugh. also i dont criticize people i either agree or dont comment or correct people who have no clue or idiots that claim they have " PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE " but yet post no link to an image website that host image's for free and takes less that 10 secs to do just to show people they are telling the truth and not some random fishy person from down the road, just like.......

Selling Chambers is the one that annoys me the most. If we had kept him he had the potential to be a quality holding midfilder on centre back. Now we are going to be left short when Schneiderlin inevitabley forces his move.

But none us know what really happened there. I believe this was RoKo's decision. Rumour has it that he didn't rate him. Like everyone else on this site, I don't know for sure but I do believe we have only sold players we didn't want, refused to play for us or for massive premiums over real value. That doesn't seem bad business to me.

Strange how the names who said if any more players left after Ralph's last statement that he'd lose all credibility are now the same ones screaming for Schneiderlin to be allowed to go. And of course if you get your wish you can then accuse Ralph of breaking his word.

How convenient.

The saddest part of this whole Morgan debacle is that following Ralph's TalkSport tête-à-tête some fans started doing cartwheels in celebration that Morgan & Jay WOULDN'T be sold. If memory serves me right it was the same individuals who were so adamant that we'd keep Poch and Adam and co.

Oh dear.....Oh dear oh dear, they've been burnt twice!!!

oh dear oh dear indeed redandy yet again your memory doesn't serve you right!
I will remind you just so you will know for future reference.
what was said, way back when, was that IF the club wanted to it COULD keep the players as it COULD hold them to their contracts, yes like they are doing to spider now! you kept insisting that if the players wanted out the club had no option but to let them go!
do you remember now?
I could go back through previous posts to prove it but I assure you I have quite a good memory.
what you I or anybody else didn't know, and how could we, is that luke had an agreement that he could leave (maybe the others did as well) and dejerk had an agreement that he could go if we got a £20mill bid, nothing the club could do there then.
now the club have sold the players, which you insisted they were going to and had no choice, you complain that they have sold them, a large dose of double standards there don't you think?
the club have now said, many times, that spider and J-Rod would not be sold, and so far they haven't despite spiders complaints. pretty much what was said about holding players to their contracts!
you seem to think that the club have sold him though, otherwise why did you say that "they've been burnt twice"? tell me what has ralph, les or Ronnie told you that they haven't told anyone else?
you seem desperate for the club to fold and sell spider just so you can say "told you so". tell me how is that wanting whats best for the club?
oh dear oh dear redandy, why would you rather be `right` than want decent players to stay at the club!

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

They still can't drive though!!!

I'm probably not the first with this idea but I think international players for top international teams (England...hahaha!, but probably not Kenya) have been told by their international managers (Hodson, Deschamps) have told players that if they aren't playing for a 'top' team, in Europe (preferably Champion's League) then they cannot expect to play for their country. That, more than anything, is causing these players to want to move to teams playing in Europe. Morgan has given us some wonderful year's of service, and much that I don't want him to leave and think he's a great player, if this is true I can see his side.

How many saints players in world cup ? Spider was at bottom of pecking order, going to spurs wouldn't change the order IMO.

yes, but I'm sure he wants to move up that pecking order and play in future international tournaments for France.

Especially the 2016 Euros, which will be here in France. That will be his medium-term ambition and who can blame him for that.

As I said before, I don't blame him for feeling that he needs to move to a club playing this coming season in Europe, but his classless attitude since learning he had to stay has been very poor.

The key point with all these actual and potential player sales is why didn't the board create a culture of ambition.

Made a coupe of decent signings and created an atmosphere with a clear forward vision that all our key players brought into and wanted to stay and fight for.

WHAM!

That is the job of any board in any business. The leader(s) of the business need to do just that, LEAD. They create the 'feel good factor' the buzz about the place that others buy into and follow them because they believe in them. Go into any business and you will see the filter down effects of the leaders of that business, are there a bunch of highly motivated highly trained energetic people who understand the vision and their role in delivering that vision? Or are there a bunch of bored, demotivated, tired individuals who are only there for the money but would sooner be elsewhere?

Cortese had a vision and the players and fans bought into it. No one has sold me a new vision, no one has motivated me this summer and made me excited about the new season. In fact in many ways this administration has done the exact opposite - ruined the World Cup for me and made me apprehensive about the new season. They have demoralised my lad who has chosen a cricket match in preference to the first home game.

Despite all this some keep on clapping and clapping and defending this inept and dysfunctional board. For all the rights and wrongs of it all this board is now damaged below the water and needs to go.

Although you miight be disappointed by scheiderlin behaviour your comments are offensive and not akin to saints fans. You will be reported if you continue with this vile type of comment

im not disappointed by Morgan, not at all, i dont expect any thing different from a sport which is controlled by money.

Comments are offensive? just like 90 % of posts that i have had the pleasure of reading the past 3 - 4 years ( since i joined the site ) .

My comment is for a troll that is not a Saints fan, probs from down the road from that horrid place called Portsmouth.

As for your so called threat of REPORTING ME please don't, i might get upset make a new log in and continue to use the site.. hahahahahha please do threaten me on the big world wide web it makes you look really big and makes you look like a hard man who could easy knock out mike Tyson...... please except my apologize, i wouldn't want you to come knock on my door and bite my ear off, or in a angry fit throw your keyboard at the wall. i will await your reply while i cower in fear of what your keyboard may say next...........

Interesting reply which I and other contributors to this site will now understand your make-up. I'm sure you can criticise others on this site you disagree with without asking them to committ suicide!. Contribute by almeans, but make it constructive and not abusive. By the way if you change your login details you will still be easy identified by your extreme comments.

Read it again, and then tell me where i " ASKED " him / her to commit suicide lol, i told them too, their is a difference a big HUGE hint is the fact i put no ?????? which would suggest a question would it not?

to be honest i find it strange how your the one arguing about what i said when the person i said it to has placed no comment in return, are you the person in question? i think so, different log ins haha, i did find it odd how in 3 - 4 years I've never seen you post before... so i guess your just one more fishy person.

Just for the record, i wouldn't change my log in, you really think Daily Echo gives a monkeys if you press report hahaha its just for show that button, click it go on, just for a laugh. also i dont criticize people i either agree or dont comment or correct people who have no clue or idiots that claim they have " PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE " but yet post no link to an image website that host image's for free and takes less that 10 secs to do just to show people they are telling the truth and not some random fishy person from down the road, just like....... YOU!!. ( some image hosting websites - postimage.org - imageshack.com - tinypic.com photobucket.com ) .

Calm down, you know the rules, "Do not post anything that is false, abusive or malicious". If you want to make silly remarks, try Facebook or Twitter, this is is a self moderated site, which basically keeps within the bounds of common sense, most of us would want it to stay that way.

i have said nothing abusive or malicious, if the person does what i said then that's down to his / her stupidity on the same note what he / she said was FALSE yet you say nothing to him / her? different rules different people???? must be.......... this site if full of silly remarks and if i remember rightly OSPREY you also do post silly abusive remarks too some times or are you excluded from these so called self moderating rules?

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

They still can't drive though!!!

You said that not me!

You're both right. Women are far more consummate business people with a more rounded approach than their male counterparts - and they can't drive!

However, the women I'm referring to are the ones who have battled their way to the top - be it in the professions, banking industry or in business at large. They should not be confused with someone who has been handed it all on a plate and has yet to prove her own worth in either the Mali group or SFC.

I'm probably not the first with this idea but I think international players for top international teams (England...hahaha!, but probably not Kenya) have been told by their international managers (Hodson, Deschamps) have told players that if they aren't playing for a 'top' team, in Europe (preferably Champion's League) then they cannot expect to play for their country. That, more than anything, is causing these players to want to move to teams playing in Europe. Morgan has given us some wonderful year's of service, and much that I don't want him to leave and think he's a great player, if this is true I can see his side.

Morgan achieved his international call up off the back of his performances for SAINTS, by playing regularly and consistently so why would Deschamps tell him he had to move to get picked?? Samir Nasri plays for the Prem champs and didnt make the World Cup squad!!

Samir Nasri didn't get picked because he was seen as a trouble-maker in that squad. Morgan squeaked in through injuries. Don't forget he was told years ago that he wouldn't be considered for any France team if he stayed with Saints when then went down to the Championship, let alone League 1. He stayed, showed loyalty, it benefited his game (because he played consistently) and he got his reward with the call-up. But now... I'm sure he's hearing he has to prove himself in higher competitions (Champions League/Europa Cup) to keep himself in the group.

The key point with all these actual and potential player sales is why didn't the board create a culture of ambition.

Made a coupe of decent signings and created an atmosphere with a clear forward vision that all our key players brought into and wanted to stay and fight for.

WHAM!

That is the job of any board in any business. The leader(s) of the business need to do just that, LEAD. They create the 'feel good factor' the buzz about the place that others buy into and follow them because they believe in them. Go into any business and you will see the filter down effects of the leaders of that business, are there a bunch of highly motivated highly trained energetic people who understand the vision and their role in delivering that vision? Or are there a bunch of bored, demotivated, tired individuals who are only there for the money but would sooner be elsewhere?

Cortese had a vision and the players and fans bought into it. No one has sold me a new vision, no one has motivated me this summer and made me excited about the new season. In fact in many ways this administration has done the exact opposite - ruined the World Cup for me and made me apprehensive about the new season. They have demoralised my lad who has chosen a cricket match in preference to the first home game.

Despite all this some keep on clapping and clapping and defending this inept and dysfunctional board. For all the rights and wrongs of it all this board is now damaged below the water and needs to go.

Perhaps they have all been very professional and diplomatic about the mess they inherited from that man that sold us visions, may be he should be the recipient of your angst, it may be his vision selling that has made you so disillusioned with your club??

Again you could say this is supposition then I would say what is your version you are supposing we are going to have a shi@ season.

You're both right. Women are far more consummate business people with a more rounded approach than their male counterparts - and they can't drive!

However, the women I'm referring to are the ones who have battled their way to the top - be it in the professions, banking industry or in business at large. They should not be confused with someone who has been handed it all on a plate and has yet to prove her own worth in either the Mali group or SFC.

You don't know that's the case, she may well be a very capable lady and I am sure she will be, in my experience sensible business owners are usually harder on their children than they are on other staff, it's the green eyed neggies that usually criticise whatever the owners child does and however capable they prove to be.

Strange how the names who said if any more players left after Ralph's last statement that he'd lose all credibility are now the same ones screaming for Schneiderlin to be allowed to go. And of course if you get your wish you can then accuse Ralph of breaking his word.

How convenient.

The saddest part of this whole Morgan debacle is that following Ralph's TalkSport tête-à-tête some fans started doing cartwheels in celebration that Morgan & Jay WOULDN'T be sold. If memory serves me right it was the same individuals who were so adamant that we'd keep Poch and Adam and co.

Oh dear.....Oh dear oh dear, they've been burnt twice!!!

oh dear oh dear indeed redandy yet again your memory doesn't serve you right!
I will remind you just so you will know for future reference.
what was said, way back when, was that IF the club wanted to it COULD keep the players as it COULD hold them to their contracts, yes like they are doing to spider now! you kept insisting that if the players wanted out the club had no option but to let them go!
do you remember now?
I could go back through previous posts to prove it but I assure you I have quite a good memory.
what you I or anybody else didn't know, and how could we, is that luke had an agreement that he could leave (maybe the others did as well) and dejerk had an agreement that he could go if we got a £20mill bid, nothing the club could do there then.
now the club have sold the players, which you insisted they were going to and had no choice, you complain that they have sold them, a large dose of double standards there don't you think?
the club have now said, many times, that spider and J-Rod would not be sold, and so far they haven't despite spiders complaints. pretty much what was said about holding players to their contracts!
you seem to think that the club have sold him though, otherwise why did you say that "they've been burnt twice"? tell me what has ralph, les or Ronnie told you that they haven't told anyone else?
you seem desperate for the club to fold and sell spider just so you can say "told you so". tell me how is that wanting whats best for the club?
oh dear oh dear redandy, why would you rather be `right` than want decent players to stay at the club!

Pretty similar to my feelings of some of the posters on here. It's clear that them being proved right (eventually...... cos a lot of them have been saying it for years now) is now the most important thing - not our beloved football club.

Although you miight be disappointed by scheiderlin behaviour your comments are offensive and not akin to saints fans. You will be reported if you continue with this vile type of comment

im not disappointed by Morgan, not at all, i dont expect any thing different from a sport which is controlled by money.

Comments are offensive? just like 90 % of posts that i have had the pleasure of reading the past 3 - 4 years ( since i joined the site ) .

My comment is for a troll that is not a Saints fan, probs from down the road from that horrid place called Portsmouth.

As for your so called threat of REPORTING ME please don't, i might get upset make a new log in and continue to use the site.. hahahahahha please do threaten me on the big world wide web it makes you look really big and makes you look like a hard man who could easy knock out mike Tyson...... please except my apologize, i wouldn't want you to come knock on my door and bite my ear off, or in a angry fit throw your keyboard at the wall. i will await your reply while i cower in fear of what your keyboard may say next...........

Interesting reply which I and other contributors to this site will now understand your make-up. I'm sure you can criticise others on this site you disagree with without asking them to committ suicide!. Contribute by almeans, but make it constructive and not abusive. By the way if you change your login details you will still be easy identified by your extreme comments.

Read it again, and then tell me where i " ASKED " him / her to commit suicide lol, i told them too, their is a difference a big HUGE hint is the fact i put no ?????? which would suggest a question would it not?

to be honest i find it strange how your the one arguing about what i said when the person i said it to has placed no comment in return, are you the person in question? i think so, different log ins haha, i did find it odd how in 3 - 4 years I've never seen you post before... so i guess your just one more fishy person.

Just for the record, i wouldn't change my log in, you really think Daily Echo gives a monkeys if you press report hahaha its just for show that button, click it go on, just for a laugh. also i dont criticize people i either agree or dont comment or correct people who have no clue or idiots that claim they have " PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE " but yet post no link to an image website that host image's for free and takes less that 10 secs to do just to show people they are telling the truth and not some random fishy person from down the road, just like....... YOU!!. ( some image hosting websites - postimage.org - imageshack.com - tinypic.com photobucket.com ) .

Calm down, you know the rules, "Do not post anything that is false, abusive or malicious". If you want to make silly remarks, try Facebook or Twitter, this is is a self moderated site, which basically keeps within the bounds of common sense, most of us would want it to stay that way.

i have said nothing abusive or malicious, if the person does what i said then that's down to his / her stupidity on the same note what he / she said was FALSE yet you say nothing to him / her? different rules different people???? must be.......... this site if full of silly remarks and if i remember rightly OSPREY you also do post silly abusive remarks too some times or are you excluded from these so called self moderating rules?

The key point with all these actual and potential player sales is why didn't the board create a culture of ambition.

Made a coupe of decent signings and created an atmosphere with a clear forward vision that all our key players brought into and wanted to stay and fight for.

WHAM!

That is the job of any board in any business. The leader(s) of the business need to do just that, LEAD. They create the 'feel good factor' the buzz about the place that others buy into and follow them because they believe in them. Go into any business and you will see the filter down effects of the leaders of that business, are there a bunch of highly motivated highly trained energetic people who understand the vision and their role in delivering that vision? Or are there a bunch of bored, demotivated, tired individuals who are only there for the money but would sooner be elsewhere?

Cortese had a vision and the players and fans bought into it. No one has sold me a new vision, no one has motivated me this summer and made me excited about the new season. In fact in many ways this administration has done the exact opposite - ruined the World Cup for me and made me apprehensive about the new season. They have demoralised my lad who has chosen a cricket match in preference to the first home game.

Despite all this some keep on clapping and clapping and defending this inept and dysfunctional board. For all the rights and wrongs of it all this board is now damaged below the water and needs to go.

Seed, unless we see some seriously good signings very soon, your post echoes my thoughts on this whole sorry saga.

I see the usual bitchfest has ensued.

Surely this could provide pre match entertainment with a ring on the centre circle where opposing people slap each other with a wet fish whilst shouting they're views on the board etc...

Personally i'd just prefer hot cheerleaders performing but there you go..

On the matter in hand, Kruger made mistakes. You don't make that statement unless you have the player onside. Clearly he didn't.

However that doesn't excuse said player. I have a contract of employment, i work within the boundaries it sets. I suggest Morgan does the same.

Perhaps they have all been very professional and diplomatic about the mess they inherited from that man that sold us visions, may be he should be the recipient of your angst, it may be his vision selling that has made you so disillusioned with your club??

Again you could say this is supposition then I would say what is your version you are supposing we are going to have a shi@ season.

i agree with what your saying here Facia, i believed in NC vision but i also seen it as a 10 - 20 year ambition unless KL was willing to pump a billion into the club ( just wonna add that the KL pumping a billion into the club thought changed as soon as FFP rules came out ) so i went right back to my feeling that this was a long term vision for the club and is a realistic vision if the commercial value of the team increases year by year, which is some thing i believe Kruger will bring to Saints.

KL brought Kruger in to get revenue from the states and i believe he will in due time that is why he was away when ex players started the exodus from us.

i hold no grudges about players moving for champions league football, but the way in which some have left leaves a right sour taste and is a disgrace. least Lambert left with his head held high and will be remembered as a legend by us, same cant be said for some, even if im extremely great full of the hard work they have all put into getting us back in to the prem.

i believe in Saints always have like my father and my grand parents did, success will come to saints, if we all believe and support the team it will in time happen and we will be in the champions league

We should have said this to Chambers as well because the line should have been drawn with Lovren.

Can't see Morgan playing until after the transfer window closes, either for us or looking more like Spurs, although I hope it is any one but Spurs.

Les go and sign Jordy Classie urgently as he is a natural replacement for Morgan.

How much help is Les Reed getting ? It seems he spends too much time keeping players and chasing lost causes like Rojo, Forster etc.

We need FIVE top players in and only THREE weeks left until the window shuts !!

Is that 'norwich city fan 4 life'?

Yes and no.

No doubt NC had a vision and had the ambition to aim for the top. We loved that, bought into it and, most of us at least, forgave his sometimes strange behaviour and actions.

That went when he walked and the new board hasn't given the same lead. Pity! I also think it boobed by not clearly stating that it wouldn't enter into talks to buy or sell players until the manager situation had been resolved - first with regards to MP, then once he had left, following the appointment of the new man.

But, let's face it, for 5 years, we were spoilt. Also, regardless of ambition, maybe the finance just wasn't and isn't there to keep players regardless of ambition.

If clubs with bigger budgets, a greater chance of winning something and of playing in Europe come knocking, most players (and most of us) would give a move some serious thought. The board has no control over that aspect, only in how it deals with it. I tend to think they've done okay up to a point; the money raised is greater than the value of the talent sold imo.

As I've said before, the key will be how well they do in reinvesting it through bringing in new players - the right players and at the right price. The jury's still out but time is ticking. However, to say that 'this board is now damaged below the water and needs to go' is premature, sensationalist and unbalanced.

Let's look again on 31 August, we might have a slightly clearer picture by then.

If clubs with bigger budgets, a greater chance of winning something and of playing in Europe come knocking, most players (and most of us) would give a move some serious thought. The board has no control over that aspect, only in how it deals with it. I tend to think they've done okay up to a point; the money raised is greater than the value of the talent sold imo.

As I've said before, the key will be how well they do in reinvesting it through bringing in new players - the right players and at the right price. The jury's still out but time is ticking. However, to say that 'this board is now damaged below the water and needs to go' is premature, sensationalist and unbalanced.

Let's look again on 31 August, we might have a slightly clearer picture by then.

Well there's a b*****y surprise.

Still not being handled very well by a board who do not know how to deal with top flight football.

What the f@@@ has the board got to do with it, it's the player that's still pushing for a move and reading between the lines of what the manager has said is not making it easy to pick him either.

Why the f@@@ keep blaming the board for the antics of over paid, disloyal players with an inflated opinion of their abilities, if the club can afford it let him rot in the reserves if not sell his sorry arse for the best price we can get and get someone who wants to play for the club and the fans, f@@@ him.

Because MS is a company asset, it is the boards responsibility to keep these assets whilst investing in newer assets to keep the company progressing, that's why top football clubs have very highly paid directors.

If the board had made an attempt of keeping these players instead of selling to the highest bidder, I would have a little more respect for them.

You must remember our club is being run by a woman who really can't be bothered about the beautiful game and an Ice hockey coach aided by Les Reed, who's C.V would not get him a job down the road.

The club is in meltdown and the buck stops at the board.

I think its your brain that's in meltdown!

With respect what a load of Boll@@s.

I run a multi million pound business and have to say without upsetting my male colleagues most females I deal with in business are far more adept within the business world than their male counterparts.

They still can't drive though!!!

You said that not me!

You're both right. Women are far more consummate business people with a more rounded approach than their male counterparts - and they can't drive!

However, the women I'm referring to are the ones who have battled their way to the top - be it in the professions, banking industry or in business at large. They should not be confused with someone who has been handed it all on a plate and has yet to prove her own worth in either the Mali group or SFC.

You don't know that's the case, she may well be a very capable lady and I am sure she will be, in my experience sensible business owners are usually harder on their children than they are on other staff, it's the green eyed neggies that usually criticise whatever the owners child does and however capable they prove to be.

You are absolutely right however here we have a football club that is regarded as being in turmoil by the football industry world wide and there have been a number of liquidations in the Mali Group.

If she has a vision for this club then its time she sold it to us - herself. If that vision is not CL but involves developing, and sometimes selling, talent to sustain the Premier League ambitions so be it. I never said the only vision was top Four - but I'm waiting to hear what the owner plans to do and from the owner herself.

Is it usual for the owner to come out and speak with masses or would that normally come from the chairman?

Or are you saying that in the circumstances of loosing the manager and key players, rumours of the club being for sale, she should put everyone minds at rest?

Most of the above has been covered by the manager and the chairman in interviews, do you not think whatever she comes out and says she will be receive the same level of distrust and disbelief she does on this forum?

you say tht but yet post no links to show this so called photographic evidence? go tie a huge large rock to your feet and jump in a very deep lake :) or tie a bag round your head with no holes, either way die quietly.............

..........

Although you miight be disappointed by scheiderlin behaviour your comments are offensive and not akin to saints fans. You will be reported if you continue with this vile type of comment

im not disappointed by Morgan, not at all, i dont expect any thing different from a sport which is controlled by money.

Comments are offensive? just like 90 % of posts that i have had the pleasure of reading the past 3 - 4 years ( since i joined the site ) .

My comment is for a troll that is not a Saints fan, probs from down the road from that horrid place called Portsmouth.

As for your so called threat of REPORTING ME please don't, i might get upset make a new log in and continue to use the site.. hahahahahha please do threaten me on the big world wide web it makes you look really big and makes you look like a hard man who could easy knock out mike Tyson...... please except my apologize, i wouldn't want you to come knock on my door and bite my ear off, or in a angry fit throw your keyboard at the wall. i will await your reply while i cower in fear of what your keyboard may say next...........

Interesting reply which I and other contributors to this site will now understand your make-up. I'm sure you can criticise others on this site you disagree with without asking them to committ suicide!. Contribute by almeans, but make it constructive and not abusive. By the way if you change your login details you will still be easy identified by your extreme comments.

Read it again, and then tell me where i " ASKED " him / her to commit suicide lol, i told them too, their is a difference a big HUGE hint is the fact i put no ?????? which would suggest a question would it not?

to be honest i find it strange how your the one arguing about what i said when the person i said it to has placed no comment in return, are you the person in question? i think so, different log ins haha, i did find it odd how in 3 - 4 years I've never seen you post before... so i guess your just one more fishy person.

Just for the record, i wouldn't change my log in, you really think Daily Echo gives a monkeys if you press report hahaha its just for show that button, click it go on, just for a laugh. also i dont criticize people i either agree or dont comment or correct people who have no clue or idiots that claim they have " PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE " but yet post no link to an image website that host image's for free and takes less that 10 secs to do just to show people they are telling the truth and not some random fishy person from down the road, just like....... YOU!!. ( some image hosting websites - postimage.org - imageshack.com - tinypic.com photobucket.com ) .

Calm down, you know the rules, "Do not post anything that is false, abusive or malicious". If you want to make silly remarks, try Facebook or Twitter, this is is a self moderated site, which basically keeps within the bounds of common sense, most of us would want it to stay that way.

i have said nothing abusive or malicious, if the person does what i said then that's down to his / her stupidity on the same note what he / she said was FALSE yet you say nothing to him / her? different rules different people???? must be.......... this site if full of silly remarks and if i remember rightly OSPREY you also do post silly abusive remarks too some times or are you excluded from these so called self moderating rules?

QUOTE: "or tie a bag round your head with no holes, either way die quietly............"

.
How is this legitimate discourse?

Oh for god sake give it up! It was a bloody stupid comment and he obviously releases that - now let it go.

No problem it's history now let's all move on, lessons learned?
